SpaceX launched its 33rd resupply mission (CRS‑33) to the International Space Station early Sunday, sending a Dragon capsule carrying 2.5 tons of supplies, including crew provisions, science equipment, and spacewalk gear. The cargo also features a new add‑on propulsion kit with Draco thrusters to help maintain the station’s orbit, supplementing Russian re‑boost operations. The 29‑hour journey will see the Dragon dock Monday morning, delivering 50 research projects, including studies on bone loss, 3D metal printing, and bioprinting for nerve regeneration, CBS News has reported. The Dragon will remain docked until December, performing periodic orbital boosts starting in September.
